Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel said the co-pilot who set upon the pilot had undergone “Islamist radical indoctrination” but did not elaborate.

What the coverage shows
All three outlets center on Captain Smit Machchhar as the Indian pilot being hailed as a hero after a Flydubai cockpit attack, and all refer to the flight carrying around 170 people. The New York Times frames the piece as an identification explainer, while CNN explicitly says it is a “here’s what we know” roundup. The Independent alone foregrounds the headline about Modi and Trump, though its extract shifts to Israel’s account of the stabbing.
